      What transfer hurt the most
      Mar 03, 2022 07:22:54 pm
      Ive narrowed it down to 10 Which of these transfers hurt you most

      1) Rush to Juventus

      2) Fowler to Leeds

      3) Torres to chelsea

      4) Suarez to Barce

      5) Coutinho to Barce

      6) Alonso to Madrid

      7) McManaman to Madrid

      8 Sterling to city

      9) Owen to Madrid

      10) Keegan to Hamburg

      1 or 2 on there for the older among us.

      Which transfer got under your skin, really upset you or annoyed you. Dont base it on how it effected the team, e.g..sold Coutinho but ued the money for VVD....the day coutinho left did it hurt you?

      Similar for sterling, rather than saying hes a horrible so and so,  when he left did you think we have just lost a star for pittens to a rival

      Has to be Torres... he was born to play for Liverpool and where he went made it hurt even more.

      Suarez for me. Was devastated when Torres left, but at that point I'd already witnessed Liverpool regress massively and pretty much expected it after seeing the likes of Rafa & Mascherano leave in the summer. The worst thing about it was obviously the fact he went to Chelsea, but even that was comforted after we went to Stamford Bridge and beat them with him in the team a few days later.

      When Suarez departed I was heartbroken. He was by far the best player I'd ever witnessed at Liverpool and he dragged an average football team to the brink of the title. He's the only player that's left who I felt at the time was completely irreplaceable

      Torres.

      But Alonso to Real hurt me because how it ended due to Benitez. We share the same birthday, 10 years apart. He's 40. 40!

      You got to wonder who the Fck thought Barry was a replacement for Xabi just shows the turmoil the club was in at that time .

      Mcmanaman for me. He was the first star player to leave us to win things elsewhere.
      Confirmed we were a club that were no longer challenging.

      Rush to Juve (as a kid) first hero and all that, possible twar shed. What replaced him more than made up for him going.

      Torres hurt like hell, he felt like he had been lied to hence that interview which felt like a knife in the back and sent the fanbase ballistic

      Suarez you expected to be off once Barca came a sniffing. What followed made that feel even more painful.

      Fowler leaving felt envitable after the Thompson spat. Same with Mcmanaman after the treatment over the failed Barca fiasco.

      Alonso felt like a business decision - paying off bank debts!!

      Sterling felt like he was jumping ship - his relationship with Brendan might have played a part.

      Owen (probably under direction from agent/sport team) imo played the at the time chief executive like a fiddle. Definitely wanted to leave once he knew Madrid was interested.

      Keegan before my time.

      Fowler was sold by GH , had an issue with Fowler being one of the “old troublesome “ big bust up with Thompson - he never wanted to leave

      Clemence to Spurs more than those suggested. He was an outstanding keeper, still at the peak of his powers and a huge part of the team. Was a really reassuring figure, foundation of our brilliant defence and a brave, brave keeper.  I even forgave his rather suspect musical taste and listened to his radio show!


      Next on my list is Souness to Sampdoria. Such a commanding, imperious player, the heart of the midfield till the day he left.

      To be fair both notified the club in advance. Yes sad losing top players but the blow softened by the upfrontness
